T42 (Transfemoral) 100m finals
New World Record!
Earl Connor Does it Again!
1st place - Earl Connor (CAN)- New world record 12.61
2nd Place - Lukas Christen (SUI) 12.99
3rd Place - No lie here.... a guy from Ukraine with Two anatomical legs.
13.28
4th Place- Albert Reed (USA) 13.64
5th Place- John Register (USA) 14.07
6th Place- Michael Haraem (GER) 14.15
7th Place- Darcy Matthew Smith (USA)14.36
8th Place- Akihiro Kojo (JPN)14.44
I have no idea why the third place winner was placed in this classification,
in my opinion in was not fair to the rest of the sprinters who have worked
for years to get to this point just to have a medal position taken by an
individual who is not even using a prosthesis.
More later.
